CLIMBING a MOUNTAIN,
DiscomfOrts Experienced by Tourists Bound
for PopocatepetI's Summit.

DiSconfortS Experienced by Tourists Bound
for PopocatepetI's Summit.
The effects of the rarity of the 'atmos-
phere were felt as soon as the start was
made, and it was impossible to proceed
more than few yards without stopping
to take breath. The ascent was made
i'll zig zags, and naturally rest was
taken at the end of each direct line.
At the start. to climb for eight minutes
and rest five was considered making
very good time. 1t was not long be-
fore a rest of eight minutes was re-
qUired for every four of climbing, and
after half the ascent was made we
rested more frequently and without
exerting ourselves to sit down. We
thrust our slaves into the snow and
leaned our heads upon them. Drowsi-
ness overlook US, and progress became
mechanical. We moved only as spurred
on by our ever-watchful guides. If
left to ourselves we would have fallen
asleep. Our hearts beat with fearful
rapidity and the breath became shorter
and shorter. Ringing sensations in the
head like those produced By large
doses of quinine were experienced.
The most acute pains shot through the
skull. Conversation was suspended,
except among the guides, and their
voices fell on our ears as if coming
from great distance. 1t was impOs-
sible to tell what progress was being
made, for the top and bottom seemed
equidistant all the way up. We barely
escaped the most severe experience
likely to occur to those who reach that
high elevation: bleeding at the nose.

signal that we had gone too far. that
heart and lungs refused to submit
further, and we should have placed
ourselves in the hands of our guides to
be carried back to Tlamacas.

THE CATS DAY COMING,
Indications That Pet Tabbfes Will TAX,
the Place of Ugly Pugs.

| Indications That Pet Tabbfes Will Take
the Place of Ugly Pugs.
| Fashion has long been favorable to
dogs. Cats are now coming forward
/ Some charming bellies at Luchon
thought this season of using the Pyre-
mean cat-which is pretty creature
and not so wild as it loOks-as SuiUez-
moi, jetlle hOmnC. The notion sprang
up in this way: A beauty down there was
given in one of her excursions lovely
cat. But, as her arms were laden with
mountain flowers, how carry it? A
peasant suggested cutting Il hole at one
of the ends of hand basket for needle
work just large enough for the cats
neck to be held in without strangula-
ton when the Id was fastened down.
As the basket was padded and lined
with satin and bedizened with fringe
and ribbons, pussy did not object to
being a prisoner therein and to being
placed on the lady's hustle as a pack
There was no other means of CARRYING
the feline unless there. So the basket.
was fitted up with strings to tie on to
the waist, and so borne into Luchon.
The arrangement was daring, original
and piquant. 1t found imitators, and
in a few days there were not Pyrenean
cats enough for the ladies' bustles. FASH
ion even dared to invade the sanctuary
at LOurdes with a mountain tom or
tabby on the dorsal hump.
4 fashion prophet tells me that next
winter the back part of the muff will
contain pouch in which n cat is to lie.
A contrivance of this sort was first hit
upon by Mile. Schneider for her black
and-tan terrier, which regarded the In
side of the mulf as prison and wanted
to look about when keeping the hands
of its mistress warm. The Duchesse de
BauffremOnt then took up the arrange
ment, and used 10 carry about as many
puppies as could tit into the pouch.

front. and a parcel of pups heads of
various breeds peeped from out of the
opening at the top.
The Maltese cat has a soft, subtle
manner that is quite Italian. and. in
ceasing to be kitten. remains playful.
Michelet and his Angora were sight.
That cat felt his spirit, if it did not
appreciate his mind. In winter it served
him as a boa He had loose sleeves
made on purpose to his oyercoats, to
let the cat stay in them when he went
out in cold weather. Isaw the Angora
creep into the sleeve at Michelet's order.
The poet-historian then folded his hands
N both sleeves on the cat. which purred
iorth its enjoyment of the situation.-

ODD FORMS OF ENGLISH.
An Amusing Collection of Verbal Bulls an

Blunders~
Curious ways of expressing ideas in

man, who paid call to this country
and was about to be introduced to Il
family, said: "Ah, re ladies! Zen ]
would before, if you please, wish &c
purify mine hands and to sweep mine
hair"
But the various nationalities of the
British isles are sometimes not whit
behind in verbal bulls and blunders,
and in what may generally be de-
scribed rs odd ways of putting things.
1t is said that when Constable's aunt
was dying the good, deaf old lady said:
..Anne, if Ishould be spared to be taken
away | hope my nephew will get the
doctor to open my head and see if any
thing can be done for my hearing"
A Paisley publican was complaining of
his servant-maid that she could never
be found when required. She'll gang

times for ance she'll come in." Itmust
have been relative of his who aroused
her servant at four o'clock with:

Tafy often plays amusing pranks
with the Queens English. A Welsh
landlord, who for some time had been
annoyed by an Obstreperous guest,
walked across the room to him. and,
striking the table with his fist, shouted
very volubly: You haf kick up a row

CLOSED UP.
No FARO Playing tn This City
last Night.

Last night was decidedly quiet for the
members of the sporting fraternity. Not
a light was seen. and not a check was
heard to click. The tiger sheathed his
claws and withdrew to the innermost re-
cesses of his lair. 1t is true that the
private poker rooms did good busi.
ness. but the banks, where the humble
citizen goes and lays down short bit
with the expectation of becoming
wealthy, were all closed, and the. dealers,
lookouts, etc, are enjoying holiday.
This lull in the business of those who
keep houses, wherein peo.
pie may woo the tickle
dame, is probably explained by the
remark of Chief Skinner at the police
investigation this morning, when he
said that he could pull and close the
gambling houses of this city without
Officer Fred. Smiths assistance. The
Chief went further and said that he
would close up the gambling houses.
This sounded like talk that was meant
and people generally have an idea that
Skinner says what be means. At any
rate a member of the fraternity went
around about 6 o'clock last evening and
held a confidential conversation with
other members of the fraternity and none
of the games opened st night.

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.
Lorenzo nHinocenO Rum over by
Engine No. IL.


Shortly after 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing engine No. IL ran over and killed an
italian laborer named Lorenzo Mlno-
ceno at the corner of Buena Vista street
and San Fernando. 1t appeared from
the testimony given at the inquest last
night that Lozenzo was in the employ of
the railroad company and was engaged
at the point where he was killed in
working about the track. Engine No.
IL had be taken across the bridge and
turned around and was being brought
back when the accident occurred. AL
though both the engineer and fireman
were on the lookout neither saw the
man but both felt a jar and when the
engine was stopped for the purpose of
turning a switch the body was seen
lying ON the track. There was a curve
at this place which prevented Lorenzo
from being seen very readily, and there
was no one who saw him struck by the
engine. The inquest was held by JUS
tice Taney and the Coroner's jury re-
turned a verdict which found that the
death was accidental and exonerated
the railroad employees from all blame.
